Is a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates really enough to thank a mum for all her hard work and care? Give her the chance to win a luxury night of pampering this Mother’s Day, and the recognition she deserves, by nominating her to be our ‘Mum of the Year’.

If you have a mum, or know a mum, who’s hard work is going unnoticed then nominate them to be our ‘Mum of the Year’ by simply uploading a photo and a short description of why they should win to our Facebook page.

It could be someone in your community, your auntie, your own mum or a friend’s mum. Whoever you think deserves an extra special Mother’s Day this year.

The mum who receives the most votes will win a night for two at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hotel in Guildford. The prize, generously donated by the hotel, includes a three course dinner, a bottle of house wine, full English breakfast in the morning and complimentary use of the pool, sauna and steam room. A free massage for the winning Mum is also included during her stay.

Elaine Conisbee, Interim Director of Care at Shooting Star CHASE, said: “We support mums who are up as many as eight times a night tending to their teenage son’s medical needs, we support mums who are desperate not be stared at when they take their little girl to the supermarket for the weekly shop and we support mums who can sometimes question their place in the world as they grieve following the death of their child.

“Every mum is individual and special in their own way. By voting for your ‘Mum of the year’ you are spreading the word of Shooting Star CHASE and building awareness of the vital work we do.”

The competition is now CLOSED.  The winner will be annouced later today.
